If he persists in his estrangement,

إذا ما استمر على هجره

1. If he persists in his estrangement,
Then cease thinking about his matter.

١. إِذا ما اِستَمَرَّ عَلى هَجرِهِ
فَخَلِّ التَفَكُّرَ في أَمرِهِ

2. May death take him suddenly,
And the grave hide him in its depths.

٢. هَبِ المَوتَ عاجَلَهُ بَغتَةً
وَغَيَّبَهُ القَبرُ في قَعرِهِ

3. It's the same for one who's absent from his family,
And one who rests in dust inside his grave.

٣. فَسِيّانِ مَن غابَ عَن أَهلِهِ
وَمَن سَكَنَ التُربَ في قَبرِهِ

4. The fate of all is separation,
So if you don't know this, then know it.

٤. سَبيلُ الجَميعِ إِلى فُرقَةٍ
فَإِن أَنتَ لَم تَدرِهِ فَاِدرِهِ

5. And the sweetness of life leads to its bitterness,
And the purity of livelihood leads to its turbidity.

٥. وَحُلوُ الحَياةِ إِلى مُرِّها
وَصَفوُ المَعاشِ إِلى كَدرِهِ
